Ingredients
  

For the Quesadilla
  • 6 slices Bacon Provides smoky crunch; consider turkey bacon for lighter option.
  • 4 large Eggs Fluffy scrambled eggs are key to texture.
  • 1 cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese Melts beautifully; try Monterey Jack for variety.
  • 1 tbsp Butter For golden-brown exterior; olive oil can be used.
  • Salt and Pepper To taste.
  • 2 large Flour Tortillas Ideal for crispy exterior; can swap for gluten-free.
Optional Garnishes
  • Hot Sauce For added spice.
  • Chopped Green Onions Provides freshness.
  • Fresh Cilantro For flavor and color.

Equipment

  • Skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a skillet over medium heat, lay down the six slices of bacon and cook until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together four large eggs, adding salt and pepper to taste. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet, then pour in the egg mixture and stir gently until just set and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. On a large tortilla, sprinkle 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, add a quarter of the scrambled eggs and crumbled bacon. Fold the tortilla in half, pressing down to seal.
  4. Return the skillet to medium heat, adding more butter if necessary. Cook the folded quesadilla for 2-3 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Once cooked, let the quesadilla rest for a minute, then cut into quarters, and garnish as desired before serving.
